It's hard to believe that the school year is almost half over! I am really proud of the students and all they have accomplished so far! Here is what is on the agenda for when we return from break and head into the third quarter.
TWO WEEK COLLABORATIVE UNIT: We are so excited to be diving into our theme: 2018 MEDIEVAL Unit! All classes will revolve around this theme, and we will be closing the unit by making a Medieval Fair for our elementary friends. Stay tuned for more details AND how you can help us out with this exciting unit!
7th Bible: We will be studying Proverbs and learning more about how our amazing Lord gives us wisdom. Students will be memorizing two passages (of their choosing) from the Book of Proverbs. After our Proverbs Unit, we will complete a unit on an overview of the prophets. This inspirational unit is often a favorite among the students.
7th English: It's time to read The Hobbit and other writings by Tolkien, CS Lewis, and George MacDonald! Students will be completing Hobbit Projects and doing oral presentations along with the projects. We are moving on in our vocabulary and grammar curriculum as well. Additionally, students will be learning how to write business letters and "professional" resumes. Students will be sending their letters to the businesses of their choice. It's extra fun when they hear back from these companies!
8th Bible: Church history continues on! I love our next unit where we get to discuss Constantine, Augustine, and more exciting and influential people in history. It is amazing how God uses us, His vessels, to move His kingdom. May we continue to do His work by being His hands and feet.
8th English: We are tackling Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream! (This might be my favorite thing I do all year.) The students will be writing literary analysis essays to defend their chosen theme for this Shakespearean drama. In addition to this literature and writing unit, we will be continuing with grammar and vocabulary lessons.
